This imaginative Harry Potter baby shower for a darling, tiny muggle is sheer magic! This event is filled with unique ideas if you’re planning a wizardly baby shower, bridal shower, or birthday celebration.
From the invitation to the Harry Potter-themed activities, décor, food, desserts, gifts, and favors, everything was a reference to this mom-to-favorite series.
Party Decorations
A few important decorations may make your gathering truly unique. We didn’t go overboard with décor, but there were a few modest, high-impact items. And these simple Harry Potter decorations added a particular touch to the occasion.
Platform 9 ¾ Wall
There can’t be a Harry Potter party without a Platform 9 ¾ Wall.
All of your guests are enthralled with your wall. You entered a shadowy Great Hall filled with magical floating candles after passing through this brick wall.
The Great Hall of Floating Candles
Is there another amusing Harry Potter decor idea? Candles that float! These are simple to build and will give your gathering a wonderfully magical feel.
Cut white cardstock paper sheets into fourths, roll them into tube shapes, then seal the corners with clear tape to make candles. Use a glue gun to make it look like molten wax is dripping down the sides of the candles. Thread a 12-inch length of twine through each tube. I placed a battery-operated tealight candle inside and taped it to the ceiling.
Hang your floating candles in the bedroom hallway since, regardless of the time of day, that area is quite dark when the doors are closed. You might also humorously refer to it as “The Great Hall” because it is a corridor. Because the Great Hall in Hogwarts is frequently mentioned in the Harry Potter novels and films, it’s a brilliant idea.
This DIY project took a little longer than anticipated, but it was well worth it.
Hedwig’s owl balloons
Several people used white balloons to make Hedwig Owls. You can create your own Hedwigs on white balloons using a picture, and it’s really simple. If you don’t feel up to drawing Hedwig yourself, there are templates available online.
Photobooth & photo props
Photo booths are all the rage these days at events. So, of course, for our celebration, we’ll need some Harry Potter photo booth accessories. They had a good time playing with them.
It was entertaining to watch kids utilize their imaginations to create their own humorous personas by combining items. For example, they paired Ron Weasley’s hair with a house elf mask before announcing it as Dobby’s girlfriend. Isn’t it amusing?
Harry Potter Baby Shower Invitations
Use our free invites and printables as inspiration for your own special wizarding day if you’re hosting a Harry Potter themed party.
In addition, I’ve made or left a pretty large space, so you can freely write or type your party information and it can be crystal clear enough to be easily read by your guests.
